"Lighthouse" - Free verse by Belinda Elkaime
Behind the iron masks are porcelain faces of flesh and blood,
However feelingless, drowning in a sea of alluring flood.
We sink defenselessly and helplessly in such ill fated trust,
But tell me, what constitutes our deservance of such incomprehensible mess, as one by one our souls erupt.
Are we all contaminated and hearts corrupt?
Or are we defiant towards goodness and all things as such?
However feelingless, drowning in a sea of alluring flood.
We sink defenselessly and helplessly in such ill fated trust,
But tell me, what constitutes our deservance of such incomprehensible mess, as one by one our souls erupt.
Are we all contaminated and hearts corrupt?
Or are we defiant towards goodness and all things as such?
Lighthouse .. should we ever wander too far off path in pitch black darkness, would you remember us, would you look for us and shine your light ever so brilliantly and lovingly, so we can see you, feel you and follow you home to a safe haven, where you will harbor us and nurture us back to that one happy moment, where we left off some time ago.
Please don't let us drown in our own fear and insecurities. If we must, may we immerse in nothing but the profound depths of new found joy and love.
- Written in a REM state of my sleep. Literally.
